Secession Possibilities.
! at was fortunate for the Confederacy
/ that we lost that for which we fought, !
! said a gentleman who stood high IN the
! cause for which the South fought g
] quarter Of a century ago to an Indian,
| apOlis Journal correspondent in Wash
/ ingtOn. eyes, it was fortunate that we
lost, he replied.
"Why ?" inquired your correspondent
Because the result would have beer
secession within secession" was tbs
startling reply. 1.-The original con
federacy would have split into half {
/ dozen smaller cOnfederacies, warning
with each other, till we would have hac
1 IN North America the same terrible con
dition of affairs that we see in SoutL
| America. Why, the very bait that wai
to be dangled under the nose of Louis
Napoleon to induce him to recognize
the new government presaged that re
/ suit exactly. The French and Spanisl
! creoles of Louisiana" continued the
gentleman, who is a prominent residen
of that State, never have been anC
never viii be recOnciled to the transfer
of their allegiance from France to the
United States. The old and Influential
families among them prefer a strong
and SNOWY monarchy to a plain re
public like ours. They would Jump a
a chance to resume their connection
with France or Spain. SOule was full,
possessed of this view when he saileC
to Europe to secure the recognition o
France and England. He carried witt
him secret proposals from leading
French creoles to Louis Napoleon, t.
the effect that If he would assist il
throwing off the yoke of the Republic
and thus give them a chance, the,
would, in a few years, so shape affair
in Louisiana as to bring about the Sc
cession of that State from the new con
Germ and its annexation to France"
Would not that have precipitated
new war ?"
"Those men did not think so. The,
held that they had the right to seed
from the new government, Just as the.
did from the old government, and tina
JEFF Davis and his follOwera would hav
been estopped by their own theor,
from preventing their with, lrawing from
the Government which they fought fo1
But the unexpected power developed
for the Federal Government on LAM
and water thwarted the plan. NapOleoi
got scared and retreated from tn
position he was assuming, so the Con
federacy went down. 1t was a goo,
thing he did, too"
